In the version of this article initially published, there were two errors in the numbers reported in the abstract. The correct odds ratio for the association of the ASIP haplotype with risk of basal cell carcinoma is 1.35, and the correct P value for the association of the TYRP1 variant with risk of cutaneous melanoma is 4.3 × 10−4. These errors have been corrected in the HTML and PDF versions of the article.
